A Golden handshake and Silver Lining for Welbeck

The recent major new signings for Manchester United of Di Maria, Falcao and Daley Blind have necessitated a clear out of players that don’t feature in Louis Van Gaal’s vision for the club. Yesterday, we saw Javier Hernandez go to Real Madrid, and in a surprise move announced late on in the day, Danny Welbeck will now play for Arsenal.

Despite both players being sold off to make way for better players, they have the last laugh as both will now be playing Champions League football this season, unlike Rooney, Van Persie, Di Maria and Falcao.
